Default Royal Norfolk GM titles

In his book Westlake shows photos of two different sizes of ROYAL/ NORFOLK shoulder title (fig 835 & 836)

Please can anyone tell me the dimensions of these titles? I have a size but don't know which version it is.

Thanks, Stephen.

Lots of looks, but nobody has yet got their ruler out.

Hi Stephen,

I have only the one title ROYAL/NORFOLK which measures 49mm x 25mm approx. I think it is Westlake 835.

Cheers, Tinto

Thanks for replies. Now all we need is someone to find a different sized badge and we have the full answer.

Thanks once again.

Mark, if I've got this right, in metric your badges is very similar size: 29x48mm. (or has my CSE maths let me down again?).

I'm beginning to wonder if two distinct sizes actually exist!

Stephen.

I only use metric measurements for modern badges. I have another that is only 1" high. They are now back in their box.

Andrew, thank you.

It appears there may be no great difference between the two Churchill variations after all.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Stephen.
